2 2, China Home Appliances Net Company "12 5" leading group for the first time network planning conference and planning forum held in Beijing. Deputy General Manager of State Grid Corporation, party members Shu Yinbiao stressed according to the "vertical in the end, cross to the edge" requirements, the establishment of the company covering all voltage levels and the specific, the levels of reunification of the planning system, scientific advance, "12 5 "Network planning. "12 5" is a well-off society in China a crucial period of sustained and healthy economic and social development, clean Energy Large-scale access network, particularly High pressure Promote the use of transmission technologies to the development of the national grid has brought new opportunities and challenges. For the implementation of national energy strategies, promote sound and rapid development of the national grid, the company in November 2009 starting up "12 5" network planning has made progress. Shu Yinbiao proposed scientific establishment, "12 5" Power development plan, time is pressing, important, we must correctly grasp the number of major issues and basic principles. In the concept of network planning, we should fully understand the quality of power development, power transmission efficiency, and the relationship between investment efficiency. Standards in network planning, network planning to give overall consideration to the design rules of order, capacity-load ratio, economic current density, power supply radius, "N-1" principle, reliability index, a composite indicator system and secondary system, the new technology and new equipment. Construction of the power aspects of the planning system, according to the "vertical in the end, cross to the edge" requirements, the establishment of the company covering all voltage levels and all special, all levels of reunification of the planning system, strengthen the planning and preliminary plans and other organic convergence and build the company's platform for unified planning and research. In the future, where not included in the planning of the project, can not enter the project library, not to carry out preliminary work, not included in the investment plan. In distribution network planning, we must focus on the status of distribution network is relatively weak, the depth of attention to planning and planning management, to ensure high quality distribution network, "12 5" plan. In the new energy planning, to actively carry out the assimilative capacity of wind power consumption and scale of development is the "12 5" network planning network planning than before one of the major differences. "Eleventh Five-Year" network planning implementation is the scientific establishment, "12 5" an important basis for network planning. The meeting stressed that through the "Eleventh Five-Year" summary assessment of power development, a comprehensive summary of achievements and experience, the quality of power development, investment returns and problems, identify gaps and weaknesses, objective, true, accurate assessment of the "Eleventh Five-Year "Power Grid Development, accurate positioning grid current level of development for the science preparation company" second five "provide the basis for network development plan. Leading group company network planning and working group members, the network company in charge of provinces, Chinese Power Research Institute, State Grid by the IAS, the National Network for Energy Institute who attended the meeting. A special session on behalf of China Power Engineering Consulting Group, and some experts. The meeting heard the "12 5" progress report on network planning and the "Eleventh Five," Power System Development Outline summary assessment report, listened to participants and invited experts on the "12 5" compilation of views of network planning, deployment network planning training and research work. Representatives of various units, to full integration into the company's major planning system based on economic and social development from the region and their own reality, strengthen leadership and coordination, science and promoting the "12 5" grid development planning. In accordance with the progress of work, the State Grid Corporation "12 5" Power development plan of the draft of the general report will be completed in September 2010.
